Claims.

This invention rel..tes to improvements in quilted goods and the method of making the same, and refers more particularly to such artielse as quilted wearing apparel and quilted. lings therefor, quilted millinery, quilted comfortilte l draperies and the like. is an object or he invention to provide ted goods wherein the various quilted sections a e filled with diiierently colored filling, and to is utilize an outer racing which is translucent or en stantially transparent, uch as relatively thin silk over 1'18 filling so that the colors of the latter while softened by the outer facing show there through, and wherein the stitching by which ach quilted section is bounded also limits the occupied by filling of any one color, so that he stitching clearly deduce the areas occupied y the various colored fillings. Thus I aim to -r vide quilted goods wherein a novel, soft and cry attractive vari-colored effect may be obained.

Another object of the invention is to provide such quilted goods wherein the same or different color sche es are furnished on its opposite sides, and wherein it is possible to obtain both difi'ercnt color schemes and differently quilted patterns on the two sides of the goods.

A further object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive method for producing such quilted goods.

With and other objects and advantages in view which will become apparent as the specification proceeds, the invention is hereinafter more fully described with the aid of the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 illustrates a plan view of a portion of the goods.

Figures 2 and 8 are sections on the line 2-3 of Figure l; in the former case a translucent racing is provided on one side of the goods only, and in the latter case translucent facings are furnished on both sides.

-g to the drawing, 1 designates a piece goods wherein the outer facing 2 consists of translucent or substantially transparent material, such as relatively silk. Under the latter in each of the various c dlted sections 3, which are bounded by stitching indicated l, diiierently colored p 5, preferably Wool, has been inserted. I of understood that the stitching at may be arranged so that dern is producer. Under the padding 5 is an interlining 6.

If only one side of the quilted goods is to be used, as for instance in cloak linings, or if a plain Serial No. 626,246

back is desired, an underside of opaque material '7 is employed. Between the said underside and the interlining I prefer to insert a thin layer of soft filling 8, such as cotton batten. In this case the stitching extends completely through the whole of the goods so that the quilted pattern appears on both sides of the goods as shown in Figure 2. v V

The method of making this so that the work may be quickly and simply done and the very soft dainty appearance obtained is as follows: First the outer facing 2 and the interlining 6 are bested or tacked together along the lines subsequently to be followed by the stitching 4. In each section 3 a slit 9 is then cut in the interlining 6 which is sufficiently large to permit the insertion of the required amount or" padding 5 of the desired color in that section. The slits 9 are then closed by cross ties or stitches 10 to prevent the padding from working out. The filling 8 is placed against the. interlining 6, the underside '7 is tacked in position and the quilting stitching 4. is sewn completely through the goods and the original basting or tacking stitches removed. In this manner no trouble is experienced in retaining the dii- 0 ferently colored pieces of padding 5 in their respective sections 3 so that a clear out, well defined vari-colored eliect is obtained. In order that each quilted section 3 as defined by its circum scricing stitching 4' shall be filled with padding 5 of the desired color, and to insure that none of the padding of that color shall extend into adjacent quilted sections 3 where it is perhaps intended that the padding shall be of another color, it is necessary first to tack the facing 2 and the interlining 6 along the lines afterwards to be followed by the stitching in order to define and circumscribe the various quilted sections 3 thus dividing them into separate pockets each one of which is separately filled with padding of the desired .color through its slit 9. As both the facing 2 and backing are in position prior to doing the stitching 4 it therefore follows that the quilted pattern on both sides is the same; but while the 109 backing '7, being opaque, presents a conventional appearance, the facing 2, due to its translucence, shows the padding which is of different colors in the various sections through it, thus these pieces of colored padding accentuate the quilted pattern and present a dainty yet striking eifect.

In the arrangement shown in FigureB translucent facings 2a are provided on both sides of the quilted goods, through which variously colred padding 5a is visible. The iacings 2a and interlinings 6a are treated as two separate units, each unit, consisting of one facing and one interlining, being basted or tacked to form the desired pattern. The interlinings 6a are then slitted in the manner hereinbefore described, the sections 3a are filled with padding 5a. of the desired colors and the slits cross tied as before; the two interlinings are then placed back to back with filling 8a between them after each unit has been separately sewn with its quilting stitching 4a and the basting or tacking stitches removed. The margins of the facings 2a are then sewn together as shown at 11. In this case also I prefer to tack the interlinings together at intervals, generally at places where the quilting stitching 4a of the two patterns lie directly over one another as shown at 12.

It will of course be understood that the thickness of the padding 5, or 5a, may be varied to suit the use to which the quilted goods are to be put; but generally speaking where single padding 5 is employed it should be thicker than where two layers of padding 5a are utilized.

While in the foregoing the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and shown it is understood that the construction is susceptible to such alterations and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

l. Quilted goods consisting of a translucent facing, an interlining behind said facing, quilting stitching extending through said facing and interlining and dividing the goods into a plurality of circumscribed quilted portions, and padding ent colorings of the padding in the various sections are clearly defined by said stitching and are visible through said facing.

2. Quilted goods consisting of a translucent facing, a backing, an interlining between said facing and said backing, stitching extending through said facing, interlining and backing and dividing the goods into a plurality of circumscribed quilted portions, and padding of different colorings in said quilted portions between the facing and the interlining, said stitching limiting the various sections each filled with padding of the desired coloring so that the different colorings of the padding in the various sections are clearly defined by said stitching and are visible through said facing.

3. Quilted goods consisting of a translucent facing, a backing, an interlining between said facing and said backing, stitching extending through said facing and said interlining and said backing and dividing the goods into a plurality of circumscribed quilted portions, padding of different colorings in said quilted portions between the facing and the interlining, said stitching limiting the various sections each filled with padding of the desired coloring so that the different colorings of the padding in the various sections are clearly defined by the stitching and are visible through the facing, and suitable filling between the backing and the interlining.

4. Quilted goods consisting of two translucent facings on opposite sides thereof, an interlining behind each facing, separate quilting stitching extending through each facing and the interlining immediately behind it, each set of stitching dividing one facing and interlining into a plurality of circumscribed quilted portions, padding of different colorings in all said quilted portions between the facings and their respective interlinings, the stitching limiting the various sections each filled with padding of a desired coloring so that the different colorings of the padding in the various quilted sections are clearly defined by the stitching and are visible through the adjacent facing, and the margins of the two facings being sewn to one another.

5. A method of producing quilted goods consisting of tacking an outer facing of substantially transparent material and an interlining together in the form of a quilted pattern, slitting the interlining to form an opening into each quilted section, inserting differently colored padding through the slits into the quilted sections so that pieces of padding of different coloring in the various quilted sections are clearly defined by said tacking, securing the slits to prevent the escape of the padding, placing a backing over the interlining, sewing through the facing, interlining and backing along the tacked lines, and removing the tacking.
